Securex®

The intracutaneous suture is usually continuous and is performed with either a curved cutting needle or a straight cutting needle As this method involves removal of the suture, a monofilament, non-capillary material with a very smooth surface is required.
The set consists of

- 2 different coloured fixation clips (red and yellow)
- 1 curved reverse cutting or straight cutting needle: strong, ductile and atraumatic Easylide needle
Advantages
